The Stars We Found (The Stars Beyond Book 2)

On humanity's most remote colony, brilliant engineer Maya Sato lives for two things.

Keeping Proxima's systems running and the secret project consuming her nights—every stolen kilowatt bringing her closer to the impossible. Resurrecting the digital consciousness of Julian Chen, the man she loved and lost.

When a critical systems failure forces her to work alongside the real Julian Chen, Maya's careful isolation starts to fracture. This Julian sees through her deflections, challenges her obsession, and worst of all, makes her feel things she thought died with his echo.

The colony is running out of time. Violet storms are intensifying. Silicon-fanged predators are adapting faster than their defenses can hold.

And Maya must choose between the ghost she's killing herself to save and the flesh-and-blood man showing her what being alive actually means.

On a planet where one mistake could doom two hundred souls, the greatest danger isn't outside the walls. It's the seductive safety of a love that can never hurt her—because it isn't real.

A heart-wrenching sci-fi romance about grief, second chances, and choosing messy reality over perfect illusion.
